Specification of Letters Patent.

Ilatented/J an. a, 1910.

Application filed May 21, 1308. Serial No. 434,138.

To ail whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, Biennium) Biiocir, a citizen of the United States,and resident of Rochester in the county of Monroe and State of idea;York, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Ash-Sprinklers, of which the followingis a speci- This invention relates toash sprinklers,.

and consists in the constructioh and combination of parts hereindescribed and claimed.

vation, applie the pipe Q n'ray be fixed at any desired posidjzion. Thestandard at may comprise a piece of pipe that is screwed into anordinary floor-socket .6. The hitter may be screwed, as shown, upon aboard 7 adapted to rest on the floor.

Connected tothe lower end of the pipe. 2 is a pipe 8, of a suitablelength to extend to the center of an ashpit 5) when the standard at isplaced just imtside a furnace 10.

pipe 2 is a down-turned elbow 11 that carries a perforated head 12. Saidhead in the drawing is shown ashemispherical in shape.

To operate the device, the desired quantity ofwater is poured into thetimk 1, and it immediately flows down through the pipes 2 and 8 into theperforated head 12. As the pcrforatioinis inthe latter areeon'iparatively restricted, the pressure of the water due to the heightof the pipe 2 sends a series of fine streams, as indicated, to everypart of the ashpit floor, and thoroughly wetting down the ashes 13 1 ingtherein. 'lhe'ashes are thus rendered ustle'ss.

.T he 'pipe 8 may be extended through the ashpitdoor opening, or, asshown herewith,

a notch or slit 14' may be cutin the furnace to receive it,'and the door15 may be closed while the device is in operation.

What I claim is: In an ash sprinkler, a water reservoir, a

' pipe extending downwardly therefrom and then substantially horizontaland having a perforated distributing head adapted to ass through an ashpit door, a movable stem ard ha ving, a sleeve surrounding the verticalportion of said pipe, means for fixingthe vertical pipe at any desiredposition in said sleeve for dilierent doors, and a movable 4 basesupporting the said sprinkler, whereby the perforated head may beinserted into the ashpit of a furnace or the device as a whole may bemoved away from the furnace.
